Abstract: An agribusiness capstone course offers the opportunity to integrate previous courses in finance, marketing, and other functional areas. In addition to the stated (overt) objectives of coursework integration and new material in strategic management, the capstone course allows for building interpersonal and communication skills through a covert agenda. The covert agenda is not explicit in the syllabus, but is an integral part of a well-defined set of learning objectives.
